Located in Niagara-on-the-lake, Fort George served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army during the War of 1812. Major General Sir Isaac Brock, “the saviour of Upper Canada” served here until his death at the Battle of Queenston Heights in October, 1812.

It is one of Ontario’s most interesting historic sites. Fort George is supposedly haunted and it offers regular tours. I have yet to experience the ghost walks, but I would assume it is worth checking out if you ever visit Niagara, ON.

A summery walk along the main street in Niagara-on-the-lake got me this shot. What can I say? I love close-up shots!
